Feast of Ideas Retreat: A Charlotte Mason Gathering

You are invited to experience beauty, goodness, and truth through the lens of Charlotte Mason’s philosophy of education at the Feast of Ideas Retreat: A Charlotte Mason Educational Gathering. Whether you are an experienced Charlotte Mason educator or you haven’t yet met Charlotte Mason’s philosophy, you are welcome to join us as we joyfully immerse ourselves in Charlotte Mason’s principles for education.

The 2026 Feast of Ideas Retreat plenary sessions will feature experienced Charlotte Mason educator and co-editor of Commonplace Quarterly, Mariah Kochis.

Plan to experience additional break-out sessions with speakers from Living Feast Collective! And, of course, no Charlotte Mason gathering would be complete without folk songs, folk dancing, picture study, nature study, book discussion, handicrafts, and a lively Shakespeare performance.

This retreat will be held Thursday, January 15, 2026, 4:00pm until Saturday, January 17, 2026, 12:00pm, at The Crossing Retreat Center in Lexington, Nebraska.

His Image, His Earth: A Charlotte Mason Co-Op

We strive to cultivate a rich, close-knit community where Christian homeschool families can share fellowship, encourage each other as we train our children according to God’s Word, and carry one another’s burdens.
We follow the Charlotte Mason philosophy and method, where we view education as “an atmosphere, a discipline, a life” as we study the riches during our weekly meetings.

Cost: $40 for the first student, $25 for each additional student (oldest student must be 6 years or older).

We do have a cap of 12 families, so we may be full, but please reach out, we'd love to hear from you!

Cottage Co-op

Cottage Co-op is a riches co-op for students aged 6 to 12 years old.

Our Friday meetings begin with gathering all together as families for
our folk song and hymn, announcements, and benediction.

Forms 1 & 2 enjoy time in Collective learning about a classic poet, artist,
and composer. Forms 1 & 2 also alternate weekly between nature study
or handicrafts. Both forms then end their co-op day with a game time
devoted to play, listening skills, and folk dances.

A typical Kinderleben class spends the first portion playing outside
making mud pies, rolling around in leaves, and searching for the largest
worms. We come inside to read stories and poems, recite a bible verse,
and learn new fingerplays. We might play with wooden train tracks or
clay, or practice sewing before all working together to clean up.
